5+ years of hands-on DevOps or platform engineering experience.
Deep experience with AWS, Azure, or Heroku — and a track record of migrating workloads off managed platforms.
Strong background in container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker Swarm) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible, or equivalent).
Practical experience supporting polyglot environments — .NET, Ruby on Rails, and Python application stacks preferred.
Experience building and operating CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, or similar).
Solid networking fundamentals: DNS, load balancing, TLS, firewalls, VPNs.
Strong observability instincts — metrics, logs, traces — with experience using Datadog, Prometheus/Grafana, or similar tooling.
Excellent written communication skills; comfortable working asynchronously across multiple teams.
Plan and execute migrations from AWS, Heroku, and Azure to self-hosted infrastructure with minimal disruption to development teams. Design and operate deployment pipelines for production, staging, and review environments across .NET, Ruby, and Python applications. Build and maintain internal developer tooling that makes deploying, managing, and observing applications fast and reliable. Own platform reliability — define SLOs, instrument services, reduce MTTR, and drive incident response improvements. Standardize code management workflows and enforce best practices across multiple engineering teams. Partner with portfolio company CTOs and engineering leads to understand needs and translate them into shared platform capabilities. Document architecture decisions and build a culture of operational excellence across the portfolio.
ABOUT VVV EQUITY PARTNERS
VVV Equity Partners is a private equity firm that operates a portfolio of companies across diverse industries and technology stacks. Our engineering team supports multiple businesses running on AWS, Azure, and Heroku, using .NET, Ruby, and Python — and we are now building the shared infrastructure layer that will power all of them.
THE ROLE
As a Senior DevOps Engineer at VVV, you will lead the migration of our portfolio companies from managed cloud platforms to self-hosted infrastructure, establish the tooling that keeps every development team productive, and raise the reliability bar across the board. You will have a direct impact on every engineering team in the portfolio and will work closely with leadership to define our infrastructure strategy.
Outsized scope: your work ships to multiple companies at once, not a single product. Greenfield platform work — you will define architecture from the ground up, not inherit accumulated debt. Fully remote and an async-first culture. Competitive compensation and direct access to leadership and engineers across the portfolio.
